Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Money Conversion Calculator at none against Currency's shown. Money Conversion Calculator also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Currency's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 3) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
